Problem is BR difference between the MiG-29A and MiG-29G will be only 0.3BR after “decompression”, and the MiG-29G has the same BR as the F-15A/F-15J, M4K, and JAS39A(wtf gaijin)
MiG-29A will have same BR with F-16A Block 10 so, it is really questionable that MiG-29 with R-73+HMD would be good counterpart of Block 10s.
It should be 0.3 higher than block 10. Thing is MiG-29G sit in a strange spot right now, since it got to 12.7 because of its loadout, despite being one of the worst of its BR
And what a coincidence! The gaijin special physics say all russian aircraft must fall from sky after 1 turn, and all american jets must be rockets that never lose speed!!
Yeah honestly with the decompressed BRs and how the Mig 29 will be 0.3br away from the F-16s, F15A, and the Gripen A. It would be ideal to give it R-73s to make it competitive. Though I wonder if removing the R27E missiles will allow it to stay at 12.7br?
Idk if limiting the R-73s to 4x would be a good idea considering its new BR placement would make it right below the F16 block 10, the F15A, and the Gripen A.
Honestly, given how insane the R-73 is at close range, a MiG-29A without the R-27E would not have the same BR as an F-16A Block 10.
To makes equal with MiG-29 with R73, they could give the AIM-9M to Block 10 as well, but if they did that they would definitely move to 12.3, the same BR as the Belgian F-16A Block 15.
In today’s update the french f16 ended up in 13.3 instead of 13.0, they prob did a mistake when making the tables. One thing that makes me sad is that probably they feel that these changes were enough for now, so they won’t touch these 4th gen for a while.
